Benefits of technology

[0019]In yet another preferred embodiment, the attachment assembly of the insulated pole further comprises a flange extending outwardly from the second end of the elongated body in a direction generally parallel to the elongated body. An opening extends through the flange which is substantially perpendicular to the elongated body. The attachment member further includes

Problems solved by technology

Problematically, in each such situation, there are limitations.
First, with hand tools, there are limitations as to the amount of torque or force that can be applied, and also difficulty with respect to having the strength to articulate the tools through a desired articulation.
With respect to th

Abstract

A remote control tool assembly for use in live line environments having an insulated pole (often termed a “hot stick”) with a tool at one end that generally includes a power supply so that the tool is fully isolatable at the end of the insulated pole. At the other end, a tool control transmitter is positioned which is configured to communicate wirelessly with the tool. Thus, the user can operate the tool remotely from the tool controller, which is particularly useful in a live line environment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]The disclosure relates in general to a remotely operated device, and more particularly, to a remote control tool assembly. The tool assembly is well suited for operations in live line environments, where insulation of a user (i.e., lineman) is well needed. Of course, the assembly is not limited for use in such an environment, and may have utility in other environments.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]The need to maintain high voltage transmission and distribution equipment, apparatuses and lines is well known in the art. It is known that in many applications, the devices must be serviced and / or maintained while energized. In many instances, above certain thresholds (in some instances over 25 kV in other instances over 500 kV), it is common to utilize insulated poles (often termed a “hot stick”) to insulate a lineman from the high voltage. One such insulated pole is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,316,204 issued to Williams. It h...
